That night
Xu Wanyan fell into a deep sleep.
Unbeknownst to her, the Man in Black entered her yard.
"who?"
"This king."
Leng Ning shrank his neck, it turned out to be his own prince.
"What about her?"
“…”
Leng Ning looked at Xiao Jingming puzzledly, not understanding who he was talking about.
Xiao Jingming's cold voice sounded again, "Xu Wanqing."
"Oh, Your Majesty, the young lady has gone to bed."
Xiao Jingming didn't say anything else and looked at the closed door for a long time without any movement.
She had already disliked him for trespassing into her bedroom twice, so this time, he remembered and did not just barge in.
Leng Ning looked at Xiao Jingming's tall figure standing in the darkness, and finally couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, do you want me to wake the young lady up?"
Xiao Jingming didn't say anything. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "Forget it."
However, Leng Ning saw that he was still standing there motionless, and she felt anxious.
After all, it’s not March yet. It’s too cold at night and the dew is heavy.
"You go down first."
"Then Your Majesty..."
"I will be leaving in a moment."
After hearing this, Leng Ning felt relieved and left and returned to the house.
Xu Wanyan had a dreamless night, and she felt much better when she saw the bright sunshine the next day.
"Father hasn't come back yet?"
Qiao Yun shook her head.
Leng Ning looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Several times, the words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
"What's wrong? Leng Ning, is there something you want to tell me? Is it about Xu Wanqing and the prince?"
Leng Ning's reaction was really strange. She was usually a very straightforward girl, so why did she have such an expression today?
Leng Ning looked embarrassed, wondering whether to say it out loud.
Not only Xu Wanyan, but also Qiao Yun and Xiyue found this expression very strange.
"Ling Ning, if you have anything to say, just tell the lady directly."
"Yeah, just say it straight."
Leng Ning took a deep breath and said, "Miss, last night...his highness came."
"Your Highness?"
Several people didn't understand who this prince was worthy of.
"My lady, yes, it was Prince Chen. The prince came last night."
After hearing this, Xu Wanyan suddenly couldn't eat anymore and all her appetite was gone.
"When did he come? What did he come for?"
Leng Ning shook his head, "I don't know either."
"Then why didn't you wake me up?"
Would he break into her bedroom again at night?
Thinking of this, Xu Wanyan was furious. "Why is he always like this? Breaking into other people's houses without their permission?"
Seeing Xu Wanyan's red cheeks, Leng Ning realized that she had misunderstood and quickly explained: "Miss, Miss, you misunderstood. The prince did not go in last night."
"real?"
Xu Wanyan was a little skeptical.
Leng Ning nodded heavily, "Really."
Suddenly, she felt that the lady was so cute at this moment.
Normally, she always looks like she is thinking deeply about something, but at this moment she actually looks cute and lovely like a girl.
"Then what is he doing here?"
"I don't know. The prince stood in the yard for a while and then left."
"that's all?"
Leng Ning nodded.
Xu Wanyan didn't believe it. How could he, a busy man, sneak back from the border just to stand in her yard for a while?
But if you ask her to guess why, she can't figure it out.
Could it be that he...
Xu Wanyan blushed suddenly. She actually felt that Xiao Jingming liked her, otherwise why would he come all the way to her yard?
Could it be that when my grandfather asked the emperor to cancel the engagement, he was unwilling?
The more she thought about it, the redder her face became.
Finally, she shook her head vigorously. How could it be possible? He was the God of War, and there was a woman like Lin Yue'e, who had a good family background and good looks, waiting for him.
As long as he married Lin Yue'e, he might become the king of a country in the future.
Xu Wanyan felt that she was being too sentimental for actually thinking of this.
He couldn't help but sigh, looking exhausted.
The three people next to her looked at her, her pretty face flushed, her eyes shining, and then dim, and they were confused for a moment.
"Miss, are you okay?"
It was Qiao Yun who spoke, she was really worried.
She hadn't seen the young lady react so strongly in a long time, so how could...
Xu Wanyan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the three people. Noticing the worry in their eyes, she shook her head and said, "I'm fine, hehe."
Seeing this, Qiao Yun and the other two had no choice but to give up.
However, they were determined to pay more attention to the young lady in case she felt unwell.
Xu Wanyan was absent-minded all day and was always distracted when doing things.
I knocked my head several times, but to my surprise, it had no effect.
"Miss, let me call a doctor for you."
"I'm fine, I was just thinking."
Qiao Yun was half-believing and half-doubting and wanted to find Huang Yueping.
"Don't look for anyone. I'm really fine. I just need a good night's sleep."
Seeing that her complexion was indeed rosy and her voice was full of energy, Qiao Yun believed it.
At night, Feiyun Garden returned to silence.
Xu Wanyan couldn't sleep. She always felt that she slept too deeply and was in danger.
It is impossible for Xiao Jingming to come here for no reason and go back for no reason.
Tossing and turning, she found that she couldn't fall asleep.
After a long time, there was a sudden "bang" outside.
"who?"
Xu Wanyan sat up from the bed.
Leng Ning heard the voice and hurried to the yard. Seeing the familiar person, he stammered, "Wang, Your Majesty."
As soon as Leng Ning finished speaking, Xu Wanyan had already put on her clothes and opened the door.
"Your Highness Prince Chen, you have come uninvited time and again. I wonder what you are doing here?"
Xiao Jingming looked at her and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that she knew he would come tonight.
"Second Miss Xu, it's getting dark outside and the dew is heavy. I wonder if I could go in and ask for a cup of hot tea?"
Xu Wanyan rolled her eyes at him angrily, then opened the door and turned to walk in.
Xiao Jingming smiled silently and followed him in, leaving Leng Ning stunned.
It turned out that the young lady knew that the prince would come tonight.
Noticing that Leng Ning was standing there motionless, Xiao Jingming whispered, "You go down first!"
"yes!"
Xu Wanyan poured the tea and said with a look of accusation, "Why are you here again, Your Majesty?"
After drinking a glass of water, Xiao Jingming smiled and said, "I heard some rumors, so I came to confirm it with you."
Xu Wanyan said calmly, "I haven't been out lately and have been staying in Feiyun Garden. I don't know what's going on outside. Your Highness, you've asked the wrong person."
"Oh? Why did I hear that this is what Miss Xu meant?"
Xu Wanyan pretended to be surprised. "Your Highness, you think too highly of me. What kind of rumors could a little girl like me spread? Besides, you've arranged for Xiao Mengzi and Leng Ning to be by my side. They've been very forthcoming with you."
Xiao Jingming didn't say anything, and Xu Wanyan was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to turn around, he suddenly grabbed her hand and asked, "Don't you really want to marry me?"
